ting palletized loads on level and paved roads up to the
specified maximum load. The lift truck is designed for the
unit load transport of standardized pallets, grid boxes
and other palletized loads in internal traffic. The lift truck
must not be used in rooms with explosion hazards or en-
vironments with aggressive materials.
The electric lift truck may only be operated by instructed
persons. It must be in technically perfect condition. Pos-
sible damages or malfunctions must be eliminated im-
mediately.

excluded.
3.1 Foreseeable misuse
If the electric pallet truck is used as intended, no reaso-
nably foreseeable misuse is possible which could lead to
dangerous situations with personal injury.
3.2 Residual risks
Even if all safety regulations are observed, a residual risk
remains when operating the electric lift truck as descri-
bed below. All persons working with the electric pallet
truck must be aware of these residual risks and follow
the instructions to prevent these residual risks from cau-
sing accidents or damage.
During operation there is a risk of crushing the lower
limbs.
During setup and set-up work it may be necessary to re-
move protective devices provided by the customer. This
results in various residual risks and potential dangers,
which every operator must be aware of.

well as the disregard of the safety regulations or the
